While in high school, Neil also performed with the Albuquerque Civic Light Opera Association (now Musical Theatre Southwest); in their December, 1988 production of Peter Pan, he played Wendy's brother John.

Quotes

Neil: So I've done my fair share of theater. I have also been very fortunate in that I've been able to come to New York two or three times a year just to see as many shows as possible. I think the live theater culture here is incredible.

Neil: It's nice to establish yourself as an actor first and a singer second. Proof is such a tremendous piece of work, and I'm incredibly lucky to be a part of it. I'm sure that the musicals will happen in the future, though.

(Comparing himself to his role as Barney in the show "How I Met Your Mother")Neil: I'm relatively sardonic, but I'm certainly not the playboy that he is. He's a quantity man. He's after as many crazy adventures and one-night stands that he can get, and I'm a bit more regular.

Neil: White Castle is a sort of smaller fast food chain in the middle of the country where you can buy bite-sized burgers called Sliders in packs of 4. It's a late night experience best saved for being under the influence of something. I'm not quite sure if they slide in better or out the other end.

Neil Patrick Harris: The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships. So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love.

Neil: (On Doogie Howser) I do still get a lot of recognition from that show. It was great at that time. I was granted an incredible education, because it was Steven Bochco, high quality, one camera... had a great time and made some money to boot.

Legen-WAIT FOR IT-DARY! :D

HIMYM would be incomplete without NPH. I've never watched Doogie Howser, but I heard it was a decent show. I would totally watch it just because of him. As for the Harold & Kumar movies, oh my goodness! Could they be any more freakin' hilarious?! NPH is a very talented actor and an all around, funny guy (twitter will answer your questions). I wish How I Met Your Mother would never end but as they always say...all good things must come to an end. Only a few more seasons left! But they will be awesome ones with NPH & the rest of the crew!moreless
